Whom we thank, and whom we ask ...

DESECE is grateful for all its donors that have been funding the organization since 1993. The main donor who has been funding almost 90 % of the budget since 2006 has announced his pull out in 2018, with their policy stating that they only fund an organisation for a maximum of 9 years, and DESECE is proud to be privileged to be funded for 3 more years making it 12 years, however, on a yearly reduced budget from 2016.

Now DESECE is looking for new donors who are willing to support our programs to further deliver the services to our beneficiaries. On the other hand DESECE is looking for donors who can finance its income generating projects, so as to become self-sustainable in future.

DESECE is grateful and proud that the following donors have been working closely together with the organization in the last 22 years. They have not only enabled our organization to built an office, kitchen, dining hall and conference hall and to buy a new car and some motorbikes, but also motivated us through all the years:

• Development and Peace, Canada - funding since 1993
  
• Brothers and Sisters in Need (BSI), Austria - funding since 1998
• Mensen met een Missie, Netherlands - funding since 2002
• Miva, Holland - funding mobility since 2002
• Horizont3000, Austria - co-funding through BSI & ADA since 2006
  
• Austrian Development Agency (ADA), Austria - funding since 2006
  
• Aktion "SEI SO FREI" of the Catholic Mens Movement, Austria - funding facilities since 2012
  
• Arch Diocese of Salzburg, Austria - funding facilities since 2012
  
• Tyrolean Government, Austria - funding facilities since 2012
  
• Miva, Austria - funding mobility since 2014
• Foundation Elimu Mount Elgon, Netherlands - funding office equipment since 2015

DESECE strives to become independent of international donors one day in future. That's why the organization is looking for 18 Fleckvieh Cows, which would enable us to carry all the costs for the organization, thus making it much easier to find donors for the programs. The cows give much more milk than local breeds and are not competing with the surrounding farmers as there are companies in Western Kenya who guarantee to purchase the milk and we could even encourage farmers in the neighbourhood to produce fodder for us because our farm is too small.

DESECE is grateful to found donors who enabled us to build our new conference hall. The hall is only missing some tables and chairs. The equipment for presentations, seminars and workshops like laptop, projector and addressing system is already available.
